Do you have what it takes?

When companies start down the content marketing path, one of the first big ideas someone inevitably suggests is: “Let’s start a blog!” Yeah! Do it! Everybody loves blogs! In fact, blogs are the third most popular business-to-business content marketing tactic, according to a recent study from the Content Marketing Institute. The only tactics more popular are social media content and case studies.

An autonomous blog — one that may not be under the control of a grumpy digital team that makes you plead for every pixel of space on the company website — can offer an irresistible sense of publishing freedom to a bullied content marketing team. And with so many free blog publishing sites, it can be a relatively inexpensive and low-effort tactic to house all your beautiful new content.
